Students from Mira Costa High School Percussion Studio perform "Balloonology" by Chris Crockarell. Mira Costa's award-winning music program includes an extra-curricular Percussion Studio during spring semester. The participating students prepare both serious and not-so-serious pieces for performance in concert.

Casey and Brittany are high school seniors, Steven is a junior, and Matt and Maddie are sophomores. Each participates in both concert ensembles and in marching band, in addition to percussion ensembles. Brittany spent last summer as a member of the DCI team Pacific Crest.

"Balloonology" was composed by Chris Crockarell. Mr. Crockarell is known for composing percussion pieces featuring everyday items used as instruments. Mira Costa often performs from Mr. Crockarell's oevre. It makes you want to see the sheet music, doesn't it? [ Ссылка ]


About TEDx, x = independently organized event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
